Tuna Fish Pie
10 Answers
I made this for the first time last night - abs delish - thought I'd share it with you. If anyone could give me tips to improve it that would be great.
2 x tins Tuna (in brine)
2 x sml onion
Milk / flour / butter
Garden peas & sweetcorn
Boiled, mashed potatoes.
Boil tuna in milk for approx 3 mins, then drain & store the milk. Finely chop onion and cook with a litter butter until soft. Add another knob of butter to the onions & approx 2 tblsp plain flour & whisk until a fine paste. Add the "tuna" milk & keep stirring, add more milk if necessary until a medium consistency is formed - (add s & p to the sauce if required) - once ready, pat the tuna into an ovenproof dish, sprinkle peas & sweetcorn, pour over the sauce & top with mash pots. I just had my mash plain, but think it would be lovely with a cheesey or crisp topping do you think?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Charisma09 - yes I think I would - it would just be a hint for my lot though (they're like children, if they know whats really in it they wouldn't eat it!) - another good idea. I also liked what puddicat suggested with a breadcrumb topping, i think that (without the cheese) would go lovely with the mustard. Let me know what it was like & enjoy it.
I adore fish pie....and you can add anything you want to it if you like it.
I always have a white fish, a smoked fish, some prawns, some whole mussels, maybe some cockles....lots of different flavours and textures (fish are poached in milk and the milk used for the sauce).
Then i add some chopped onions, sweetcorn and peas, chopped peppers and sliced mushrooms. Bit of shopped parsley goes in with Hollandaise or just a basic cheese sauce with mash on top. Grated cheese and dried thyme top the pie off !!!
delicious but seems to take ages to prepare (but worth it) and costs a fortune !!!!
